Re: Do I need to find a boyfriend?

[nyxelestia]

Well, there's always the option to just find someone else who also only wants a relationship for social currency, but not necessarily the relationship itself. Go to places together and then just do your own thing, with as little drama as possible. :P Not a bad band-aid, though more generally I wouldn't recommend this.

As most people have suggested, learn to be more confident in yourself and be proud of your single-ness. This generally involves preparing a lot of witty responses and a thick-skin due to our super-strong "everyone must be in SOME kind of relationship" culture, but it's possible.

One of my favorites...

Someone else (usually an interested guy): "How are you still single?"/"Why are you still single?"/variations thereof
Me: "Easy - every time someone asks me out, I say no."

Actually, I don't get asked out much in the first place, but I phrase it that way to established right off the bat that I'm actively staying single. I say that because I've met other people like this and a lot of times, people want to be evasive about this, and honestly, that just creates bigger problems. If it's someone you're only meeting in passing, then being evasive just to get the situation over with as quick as possible makes sense. But if you are talking or expect to see them again? Don't. More headaches down the line when your evasive implications lead to people playing matchmaker because they think you just can't do it yourself/suck at dating but still want a relationship. Better to make it clear from the get-go that you don't want a relationship in the first place.
